Quick poll - how many of you feel the Wild can win this one?

The Maple Leafs come in riding a three game losing streak. Wild fans pine for the day when it was only three. The Leafs have a similar record to the Wild, but after that, the similarities end. They have Kessel to score goals, they have Komisarek who plays some defense, and they have goalies that tend to stop the puck from time to time. Only time to time, though.

They have their struggles, just like any other team, and those struggles are always amplified by the Toronto media, which is about as intense as they come. Nothing goes without scrutiny, and anything they don't know, they often just make up. It has proven ugly several times in the past few years, none more so than this season after GM Brian Burke and coach Ron Wilson joined Twitter. The ins and outs of the network confounded some of the media and they felt slighted. Over Twitter. Awesome.

Right now, neither team shouldn't give a rip about the media. Both have issues to resolve, and all of them are on the ice. Winning solves everything. Win, the problems stop. Simple as that.

The Wild trot out some new lines, and a return of the third line that did so well in the early part of the season. Can the Walz / Gaborik effect help Peters / Heatley? It can't be worse than the "one scorer, one worker" idea against the Flyers.

Niklas Backstrom returns after missing a few games due to what sounds like a nasty bug. The guy lost six pounds. I've seen him. He doesn't have six pounds to lose. Yuk. How he responds to being back in game action will play a large part in how this game goes for the Wild.

Play the system, win the game. Simple as that. Right?

Five Questions:

  1. Does Heatley / Peters / Setoguchi work?
  2. How does Backstrom look in his return?
  3. Justin Falk sits. Can Zanon steal his spot?
  4. How well does the Wellman - Cullen - Clutterbuck line work?
  5. Anyone coming out to Skate for the Troops on Saturday?
Enjoy the Wild's warm up songs before the game:

Never underestimate the Leafs' ability to lose games.

If ever there was a game for Backstrom to regain form, it’s this one. Shutout. It’s coming.

Even if Backs shut out the Leafs

I still don’t think the Wild would score enough to win

hello wild fans.

I know next to nothing about your team, Koivu and Heatley aside.

I like matt hackett, I was at IceDogs game where Plymouth was playing their backup so he was on the bench. I sat next to the players bench and he was very accomidating when kids asked for autographs.

so that’s my wild knowledge.

I'm a girl. Maybe you canadians don't see a cup of cherry yogurt as effeminate. That is a good thing.

This game however is not. Get in their heads, wild!

Well, this is awkward. Couldn’t find a gif or image by a PPP’er that doesn’t have a title.

I do like the username, though. The only way that gun would do any damage is if you threw it at him.

“cmon let’s watch pulp fiction it’s hilarious”
went on from my late teen years to the present. Actually, they quote from that stupid movie so much that I knew all the lines before they were said anyway. A big mac’s a big mac but they call it le big mac.
I don’t watch many movies—:D I actually hate them. I like about three of them, including the one referenced in my signature

meh you have a world class goalie. When Koivu returns and if Backstrom gets hot, you’ll be fine.

So I'm curious

In a game like this, why not spend the last 5 minutes empty net? The difference between losing 4-0 and 6-1 is pretty negligible, and it gives you 5 minutes of practice on extra man play against a real team (however they simulate it in Wild practices obviously doesn’t work real well). Plus, it gives you a somewhat non-zero chance of pulling out 4 goals in 5 minutes.
